For the last several months, KVI afternoon host John Carlson has devoted an unprecedented amount of air time to the topic of immigration. Throughout that time he has been very careful to qualify his opposition as being against illegal immigration specifically....

Right-wing immigration opponents know that they can't find success for their agenda unless they can make the issue seem like an existential threat. It's the only way they can sell it to the average American who doesn't have a deep cultural or racial aversion...

The Friday, April 28th episode of the John Carlson Show featured a passionate and highly misleading defense of Rush Limbaugh against his reported arrest and plea deal:

CARLSON: We will once again clear the air about some of the irresponsible reports you'...

John Carlson has latched onto a new argument that he evidently thinks is a home run in the immigration debate. In fact, he's so proud of it that he has used it in almost every one of his daily immigration rants delivered over the last several weeks. Here...

When I first heard that John Carlson would discuss the exit of Tom Delay on the 4/4/2006 edition of the John Carlson Show, my first emotion was one of regret. Not for Delay, but regret that I wasn't keeping track of John's statements a year ago when every...

On February 28th John Carlson gave complete control of his 2nd hour to David Horowitz, who was pushing his new book on college professors gone wild. In the 30 minutes that Horowitz was on the air, Carlson asked maybe a half-dozen softball questions and made...

As we prove so often here, the opinions of right-wingers often end up on the wrong side of the facts. Luckily for them, they have a bag of tricks to employ whenever they have an opposing caller that makes inconvenient factual statements. One of John Carlson'...

The key thing to remember about John Carlson is that he's a Republican first, and an ideological conservative second. In addition, he is a very useful indicator of the strategy and desires of the older non-theocratic Republican establishment. John has often...
